[…] HECKENDORN DOES IT AGAIN – THE PLAYSTATION 3 PORTABLE By nylatenite Master console hacker Ben Heckendorn has done it again. This time around, the PlayStation 3 gets some attention from Ben, with the final […]

I couldn’t figure out why the site was taking so long. So while I was waiting I went over to Engadget and saw the culprit staring back at me. I absolutely love it! Your laptops are looking cleaner and cleaner with each execution. Keep up the good work.

Amazing. Another very nice conversion of console to laptop. Never ceases to amaze me that it can be done, this one even looks more interesting and less clunky than it’s original case. Having a hi-def screen on it is really cool.

Woah! If Ben would build a factory with workers who can make these laptops stuff, almost everyone would love to buy one. But I don’t get the weight of the PS3p. Sounds like the LCD screen is gaining the weight.

Can you provide instructions on how to build a PS3p? I am gonna make something serious this time! (If only I had the money sonny!)

[…] a waste of money, but I like the pics it delivers. Just like women with boobjobs, I guess. Ben Heck’s latest project is building a PlayStation 3 laptop. It took him more than a year, but now it has a […]

how you do it? a;lready have the case off mine and am plucking u8p the courage to start flattening out a few capacitors a few pointers would be lots of help! is it watercoooled like the 360 one? im sure an informed build from csratch could provide some weight savings maybe cos id take it everywhere with me and youd have to put wheels on it after a bit. 16 pound scary monster. and was there anything radically different from the xbox method? amazing, what would be most interesting would be to see what it would be like if you were to use the smallest laptop specific components where substitutes would be compatible such as the wifi module if the controller systems would allow it. if sony havent consulted let alone employed you yet they are mugs – waht do you reckon you could get it to weigh and wht would its dimensions be if you had factory support and project specific component manufacture? 12 pounds? 10? 8???????? go on tell us cos i dont want to have to build one i want to get mine from argos. are you listening mr head of development at sony???????????

Hey Ben whats up? I’m a big fan of your ps3 laptop!! I saw your video on youtube and wanted to know more about the laptop like if your selling it or not because if you were I would be more than happy to buy it so if you could e-mail me back I would more than love to talk to the creater of the famous Playstation 3 portable so I really hope I can talk to you !!!!!!

Stunning! I was just commenting to a friend of mine how there is not the selection of portable screens like there used to be with ps2. I am in the military and travel a lot, so as soon as I have free time I’m making my own. Keep up the good work.

DAMN! You’re a genius. I saw the PS3p video on Engadget and it left me shocked, and even though I hate you for throwing the X360 at the beginning of the video (I own an X360), this PS3 IS AWESOME. Great job, and I hope one day you can make and X360p too! hehehe… See ya!

If only Sony would take this idea and throw some money at it!!! I travel so much with my laptop anyway. I would purchase one to replace my HP in a heartbeat. I bet there is a huge market for this. Come on Sony or Microsoft!!! Open your friggin eyes!!!!

HI
I saw that you converted something wall powered into something battery powered, How do you do this? as i am doing my own little project of putting 3.1 surround into a backpack and let it run on batteries. If you could give me some steps on how to that would be great
Regards
James

You have to get with Sony so this babe can hit the market, I want one. There are only two things I can think of that would make it better. 1st- If it wasnt so heavy, but hey I will live with it. 2nd- If it had an internal battery. If you cant get sony to market this you should publish your instructions for it.

1. is this real or fake
2. if it is real how much
3. how many are in stock
4. where are they bein sold
5. what state are they being sold in
6. does it have a inbuilt camera
7. what other conections does it have besides USB
8. can you go online wireless
9. does it have inbuilt mic

thats all the questions i have.

and it looks very very very very very very high tech and very very very very very very very AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey ben i know u must be busy with other projects and new ideas but can u plz finish the HOW TO make a ps3 portable i really would like to know. well if u can’t thx anyway but i’d love to see how u did it becuz this is amazing im just amazed that this is even real. lol

I don’t understand the point of this at all. Someone Please explain it to me.

I bought a laptop to play games with over a ps3 or Xbox, for many reasons.. cheaper games, more games, mods, better resolution.. Plus it can do everything a desktop pc can do. Cost me 350 bucks new. It plays Crysis, Borderlands, Fallout 3 and most games below 2009 on medium settings. Plus it’s portable.

I heard someone made one of these laptop ps3 for 8000 bucks. I thought Sucker ! He could have had a serious gaming laptop for under 1000.

Someone please tell me the point to this ps3 laptop because I just don’t get it.

[…] Since that time Ben has risen to the level of King God Tinkerer with follow up projects such as his Super Nintendo Portable, Sega Genesis Portable, Playstation 2 Portable… seeing a pattern here?….. and more recently the XBOX 360 laptop and the Playstation 3 laptop […]

Dude I can’t believe he can just give ALL OF THE MONEY AWAY. I’m saying sure giving 2 charity is good and all, but ALL OF IT!!! You must’ve made some serious green. You know that you don’t give ALL away. God says give like 15% of 2 charity. Don’t believe me check the bible and find out!
